It was just a another weekend night at the stages inside Durant’s Choctaw Casinos. Who’s kidding… the weekend nights are always fun there, with great music and no cover charge at the Parrot Bar (inside the southern-most building) and Gilley’s Durant, (inside the center/hotel/new building).

Blue Twenty2s

This past Friday nigh (Sept. 28)t, the Blue Twenty2s graced the Parrot Bar stage, and this band had perhaps a record crowd, complete with dancers and song-requesters. The Blue Twenty2s presented a variety of music complete with Texas and classic country, reggae, classic and alternative rock and pop, and other crowd-pleasing sounds. Its members are Shane Parker on lead vocals, Lolesio Pua on keyboards, Peter Grothe on bass, and the Key brothers, Rodney on drums and Brack on lead guitar and sometimes vocals.

Over in the Gilley’s Durant dance hall, The Scott Rankin Band kept the dance floor filled with its upbeat country music. This band, like Blue Twenty2s, is not a stranger to Texoma, having been a regular house band at Cutter’s Bar & Grill in Denison, and several other dance halls in the Metroplex area. Like two-steppin’ — get out to Gilley’s Durant for a good time any Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night, where there’s always live music.
